TwinIon Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 Former Kotaku, Vice, and Post writers Nathan Grayson, Gita Jackson, Riley MacLeod, and Luke Plunkett (along with Chris Person and Alex Jaffe) have founded Aftermath.site, a new gaming news site, newsletter, podcast, and more. They're hoping that a subscription model can help them escape the issues that traditional ads based web publishers have faced. They're starting with a soft paywall of 2 free articles, plus 2 more if you sign in. The subscriptions start at $7/month, $10 if you want in on the Discord server or to participate in Q&As, as well as a $99/month tier if you want a quarterly video meeting. I don't know any of those writers well enough to jump in with a sub right off the bat, and I'm dubious that a gaming news site would be able to justify another subscription from me, but I'm generally rooting for new outlets to succeed.

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 Man, I wish 'em the very best of luck, but they're not exactly diving into a market that's not already saturated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XxEvil AshxX Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 I'd pay for a subscription if I got an actual physical magazine every month. Kids these days will never know the excitement of checking that mailbox and finding the Nintendo Power or GamePro folded up inside. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at Richie Rich over here with his wide ass mailbox that could accommodate flat mags. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Au contrare, a rolled up Gamepro in the mid-90's could be registered as a lethal weapon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
